I wish WA was in the same time zone as the rest of us.

Anthony Green - suggests Labor 75 seats on current numbers. That would be a hung parliament - and the Green would give it to them (if he has won Melbourne).

>>>”You may know - I don’t.”

I know Labor has to go. I’d be disappointed otherwise.

Lord, they've elected a child in Queensland. I seriously doubt he shaves!

He can’t be any worse than the spoiled brats that are usually sent to Canberra.

Hey, I teach kids a couple of years younger than him - and there are a handful who could do this type of thing.

I was just stunned at how young he looks.

And at the moment I’ll take any win at all that puts somebody on our side of the house.

He’s a farming kid. I think he could do good.

We’re gaining a fair number of seats - but whether it’s enough... not sure.

Possible miscount in McEwan (Labor’s only supposed gain at this point).

Very high informal vote - former Labor leader Mark Latham called for people to vote informal.

I’m just looking in to check.

The farming kid does look young, but that’s could bode well.

He’s on your side!
